The final action taken by Germany that prompted President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war was the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in early 1917. This aggressive military strategy threatened American ships and lives, leading to the sinking of several vessels, including the Lusitania in 1915 and later incidents that endangered American citizens. Additionally, the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States, further inflamed public opinion and galvanized support for entering the war. These factors combined led Wilson to advocate for U.S. involvement on the side of the Allies.

Why did President Wilson finally decide to join the Allies in World War I?

1) The British found a letter written by Germany that tried to get Mexico to declare war on the USA, and 2) Germany said they were going to resume unrestricted submarine warfare and sink any ships (civilian or military) sailing between the USA and England. These two actions finally provoked President Wilson to ask the Congress to declare War on Germany.

What finally led to the US participation in World War 1?

The United States' participation in World War I was primarily triggered by a combination of factors, including unrestricted submarine warfare by Germany, which resulted in the sinking of civilian ships like the Lusitania, and the interception of the Zimmermann Telegram, in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the US. These events, alongside growing economic ties to the Allies and a desire to protect American interests, ultimately swayed public opinion and led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war in April 1917.

What were the two important reasons for the US entering war against Germany in World War 1?

One: Germany sank the British "Lusitania", a ship. This ship had 128 Americans on board. This caused America to be angry. Two: America was becoming less and less neutral by the day. It was really tempted to fight against the growing dictatorship of Germany. Finally Congress declared war on Germany in April 6, 1917 after the failed treaties between America and Germany.
